D | Training Methods for Exploring Values
This session will examine the impact of contrasting values that potentially lead to misunderstanding and conflict across cultures. Using exercises from the facilitator’s book, 52 Activities for Exploring Values Differences, the workshop will focus on the training application of this information to differences across gender culture, generational culture, national culture, and ethnic culture.
